Introduction

Welcome to the Google Maps APIs for Work!

You will have received a welcome letter from Google upon purchasing your
Google Maps APIs for Work license. That letter contains
your client ID and your private cryptographic key.
These are important pieces of information and should be stored safely.

This page provides information about getting started with the web services
APIs and contains links to a number of important resources.

Authentication by client ID and digital signature

Except as noted below, you must include your client ID and private
cryptographic URL-signing key (a digital signature) in all API requests.
Your client ID identifies you as a Google Maps APIs for Work
customer and enables support and purchased quota for your application.
Your digital signature allows our servers to verify that any site
generating requests using your client ID are authorized to do
so. Requests made without a client ID and digital signature are
not eligible for Google Maps APIs for Work benefits.

If you're switching from the free API services to a
Google Maps APIs for Work implementation, you must remove
the key parameter from your requests.
Google Maps Platform web services will deny requests made with both
a client ID and a key.

If you have lost your client ID or private cryptographic key,
you can recover it by logging in to the
Google Cloud Support Portal
and clicking Maps: Manage Client ID from the links on the
left of the page.

Note: The following web service APIs use a different authentication
scheme, documented here:
